The potential impact of scaffolding on fire safety in residential buildings - www.cross-safety.org/uk/safety-in...

Reliance is placed on “an unsuitable and insufficient fire risk assessment prepared by a scaffold contractor”. Obviously not saying a Hong Kong style incident is possible or likely - I simply don't know. But worth asking how safe we are and what we could do to remove the risk

1/2 'Join me & Kwasi Kwarteng tomorrow at 6am onwards for our live coverage of Rachel Reeves' (probably) career-killing budget. I'll be rubbing the thighs of anxious Tories fearing a massive tax burden, as they discuss fiscal headroom in a way that suggests that this mess wasn't...

The front page of today's Daily Mail refers to the 2025/26 budget as the one "we've all been dreading".

Remind me, how did they respond to the one where Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng fucked the country's finances sideways..? 🤨

Why doesn't Kemi Badenoch trust the deputy chancellor to respond to the budget speech?

Saying Rachel Reeves is the worst chancellor of all time is a bit rich from someone who supported Kwasi Kwarteng. #Budget

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

Sending condolences to everybody affected and the families of those deceased and injured. This is horrible.

Utterly classless from Kemi.

Desperate, personal, gutter attacks - not economics.

The few remaining sensible tories behind her, look mortified.

What an embarrassment to parliament she is.

Questioning whether the OBR forecasts are too favourable for Labour.

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Press: "What kind of concessions are the Russians going to have to make?"

Trump "Their big concession is they stop fighting and they don't take any more land."

Yeah. That's basically how surrendering works.

One of the definitive punk anthems and a brilliant song.

That B side ‘I Wanna Be Me’ is a superb song too 🎯👌🔥

I’ve got a French import version of ‘Anarchy’ with a cracking sleeve cover. Still sounds fresh and powerful today ✊

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Labour needs to learn the lessons from putting VAT on private school fees.
A clear policy, a well argued case and faced down critics. That's the way forward not surrendering at the first smell of cordite.
Labour has a stonking majority. Use it.

According to Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's former leader in Wales being convicted of taking money to undermine British national interest in favour of Russia is "ancient history". 😂🤣😂

He was sent down for ten years three days ago. Three. Days. Ago. ~AA
